Rhode Island Immigration Lawyers

Immigration

Aggressive Legal Services represent clients facing immigration issues, including deportation, adjustment of status and naturalization. In a deportation case, our goal is the termination of proceedings or cancellation of removal. For clients on a visa or overstay status, our goal is the adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident. For clients interested in naturalization to achieve US Citizenship, we work to ensure a speedy and successful application process. We have successfully terminated deportation proceedings and received orders of cancellation at immigration courts throughout the United States. We have successfully helped our clients obtain lawful permanent residence or citizenship despite a visa overstay, an illegal entry or having a prior criminal record. For an example of cases handled by Attorneys Larochelle or MacDonald, please see our results page.

The Law Office of John E. MacDonald guarantees that our lawyers will take the time to completely explain why we are pursuing a legal avenue on your behalf. We will explain the strengths and weaknesses of your legal matter from the beginning. We will regularly update you on your case. You will never complete a discussion with one of our attorneys and not have the answer to your question or a plan and timeframe to obtain the answer.

We are available to our clients twenty four hours a day, seven days a week. We frequently answer emails after hours, on weekends, and while on vacation. We love what we do and we love to win. We encourage you to consider a complimentary consultation, wherein you will notice, first hand, the professionalism, competence and dedication we have to offer in resolving your family court situation.
